Islington Reformatory: On Christmas day the boys had a dinner of roast-beef and plum pudding which was given them by a lady. Sermons, on behalf of the institution were preached at the church of Holy Trinity, on Sunday, the 25th, in the morning by the Rev. W. Pincent, from Luke i 78, 79, and in the evening by the Rev. J. Cohen, from Luke ii 10,11. The collection amounted to the sum of £21, 15s 11d., and are in aid of the building fund, as the committee are anxious to increase the number of boys to one hundred, and the premises at present occupied are very small and inconvenient.
